Americans on Monday celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, honoring a man who embodied the U.S. civil rights movement and who understood that the success of the movement depended on its nonviolent principles.
Every year on the third Monday in January, Americans honor the slain civil rights leader who in the 1950s and 1960s organized nonviolent protests against Southern segregation, the struggle for black equality and voting rights.
Many around the country spend the holiday commemorating King's tireless work to end racism by participating in community service projects. The U.S. Congress honored that community spirit in 1994 by designating the King holiday as a national day of service.
President Donald Trump paid tribute to King during a ceremony in Washington Friday, praising his “peaceful crusade for justice and equality.”
美国民众星期天庆祝马丁·路德·金日,纪念美国民权运动的著名领导人马丁·路德·金。他在领导民权时坚持非暴力理念。
马丁·路德·金日是每年一月的第三个星期一。美国人民在这一天纪念这位20世纪50年代和60年代领导民权运动的领袖。他在美国南方组织了反对种族隔离的抗议,以及为黑人争取平等和选举权的运动。
美国各地有很多民众通过社区服务来纪念马丁·路德·金为终止种族主义付出的努力。美国国会1994年为鼓励这种社区精神,将马丁·路德·金日定位联邦假日。
川普总统星期五在华盛顿参加了一个纪念马丁·路德·金的活动,赞扬他为公正与平等而进行的非暴力奋斗。
